...Russians, meanwhile, have completed a series of multiple-warhead test shots in the Pacific. A U.S. destroyer monitoring the tests reported that the S59 missile, which had never before flown more than 3,200 miles, is now capable of reaching most of the U.S. The reconnaissance vessel also learned that before the S59 splashed into the Pacific, the missile delivered three separate warheads. Since the SS-9, with a multiple warhead, can carry up to 15 megatons, Defense Department officials warn that it is a serious threat to U.S. missile installations. A five-megaton blast within a mile...
...greater hardship. One girl married at 20 only to discover that her musician-groom was impotent. She has spent the past six years petitioning the Vatican's marriage court for an annulment. Until the Sacred Rota finally decides her case, she must avoid any relationship that would destroy the only evidence on which her plea rests: her virginity. A woman married her brother-in-law after her husband was declared dead in World War II and bore her second spouse two children. When the first husband reappeared unexpectedly, he became not only her legal husband again -the second marriage...
...first Romans to visit Geneva was Julius Caesar, who 2,000 years ago destroyed a bridge there to keep the Helvetians from crossing the Rhone River.

Peckinpah is sometimes guilty of overkill himself. Action sequences-like an attack by the Villa forces on Mapache -occasionally destroy the continuity of the elaborate story, and flashbacks are introduced with surprising clumsiness. These, happily, are not typical moments. More characteristic are the sweeping visual panorama of the whole film (stunningly photographed by Lucien Ballard) and the extraordinarily forceful acting from a troupe of Hollywood professionals. Holden hasn't done such good work since Stalag 17, and the bunch -Ernest Borgnine, Warren Gates, Ben Johnson, Edmond O'Brien, Jaime Sanchez-all look and sound as if they...
...those two groups there was no doubt where Marx stood: for science against religion, for industrialism against "the idiocy of rural life," for the new nation-state against the remnants of the old political order. But he regarded the new order, capitalism, as a transient phase that would soon destroy itself and be replaced by a wave that he saw expressed in the third attitude toward the new order, revolution. The liberals, eyes on the future, tended to be insensitive to the suffering, material and psychological, caused by the march of the new order. Marx was not. He believed, incorrectly...
